Summary
BibleTTS is a large, high-fidelity open text-to-speech corpus with up to 80+ hours of studio-quality 48kHz single-speaker recordings per language across ten Sub-Saharan African languages (Akuapem Twi, Asante Twi, Chichewa, Ewe, Hausa, Kikuyu, Lingala, Luganda, Luo, Yoruba), built by Masakhane/Coqui.
MALIBA-AI Bambara TTS is a neural text-to-speech model for Bambara (Bamanankan), the most widely spoken language in Mali, built on the Spark-TTS framework with a Qwen2.5-based backbone of around 500M parameters. It supports 10 authentic Bambara speaker voices and outputs 16kHz mono audio without a separate vocoder. It is released under a non-commercial MALIBA-AI research license.
